"Diego OLIVEIRA"
"First of all, I am very happy to be able to give a goal to the child who was born. We were able to score a goal in the second half and it was very good for our momentum, but we were able to score a goal like that at the very end. Of course, I am happy to have scored a goal, but I am disappointed that it did not lead to a win. If the team could win without me scoring a goal, I would have gladly traded that."

(What do we need to work on to achieve victory?)
"A few more aspects will greatly affect the final result."
Last season, we were able to have good battles in the early stages, but at some point, we were unable to win and ended up losing momentum.
The first half of the season has just begun, but it has been progressing very well so far. We must make sure not to lose momentum like we did last season.
Winning in front of a large audience in an away game is truly difficult... As I've said before, we were so close to winning.

(Today, there was a substitution from Nagai player to Kubo player in the middle of the game. A completely different type of player entered, but what I was conscious of was)
"Not just the two names that were mentioned, but this team has many players with high quality. Not just those two, but everyone is always prepared, so I believe that whoever comes in can play a great game."

(Looking back at the scoring scene)
"At first, I received a through pass from Kubo, but the timing wasn't right there."
Kubo player once again passed the loose ball to the side, and was able to score by entering the penalty area with the ball from Higashi player.
When Kubo had the ball, he had the intention of breaking through the opponent's defensive line and going behind it.

"Hyun Soo JANG"
"I feel like this is what soccer is all about again."

(The goal scene seemed to be an unavoidable goal rather than a mistake)
"After the game, I watched the goal scene, but there was really no other option. Also, I think that Moriwaki made a good timing to come inside, and the only possibility for a goal was there. My honest feelings for today are regrettable and wasteful."

(How to connect as a team)
"It's only the 5th game of the league. We still have a long season ahead, so we need to continue improving the quality of our soccer by pushing ourselves to the limit."

(Is there any momentum for today's match?)
"In fighting the league, we will do it with a sense of crisis that we do not know when it will happen. In that, the most important thing is the next match when the result does not come with it. I want everyone to come together and prepare mentally and physically for the next match."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"Urawa came out in a diamond shape in the beginning and there were times when they were pushed back, but as time went on, we were able to respond firmly."
The second half was a back-and-forth affair, but there were hardly any dangerous situations after taking the lead.
The players played a great game, and I think we were able to secure 3 points today, but I still feel like I have room for improvement. I was reminded that I need to learn from this experience.
Tokyo has been losing at this Saitama Stadium for a long time, so there is no need to view the 1 point as a pessimistic result, as they played an intense game.
The players showed their hard work even in today's game. We want to prepare for the next home game."

(The defense in the first half was also able to respond without being shaken. It seems that the game plan was going as planned, such as bringing in Kubo in the 62nd minute.)
"Regarding Takefusa, he played 3 games in 40℃ heat in Myanmar with the U-22 national team. He only started in one of those games, but including today, he has played 4 games in 2 weeks.
I knew it was in good condition, but I thought it wouldn't last 90 minutes from the start.
As you know, Omori is a wonderful player. He was able to play as a card for Kenei at crucial moments. I think he played as expected today as well."

(Did the first half, where we created a defensive block, go as planned?)
"(Regarding Urawa) There were various rumors and information flying around. Will we use a 3-back or 4-back formation, and what will happen with the midfield shape?"
It was a starting lineup that could respond to the opponent in any form. At first, I was confused by the diamond shape, but I talked to the players when the play was interrupted and from around 30 minutes, we were able to create our own time.
We were also talking about turning on the switch in the second half.

(Kubo was in a position closer to the goal than usual. The intention was)
"Score a goal, simple as that."
He is a "possessing" player, so I thought he would definitely leave a result on this stage. I wanted him to reduce the burden of defense and use his power as much as possible for attacking. He collided with Makino on the ball and it was unclear which way it would go, and he competed with Aoki without losing and created space in the front line. He also made great plays today."

"Urawa - Oswaldo OLIVEIRA Press Conference Summary"
"I think it was the best game of the season."
Although we were unable to achieve victory, it was a match where we did not give the opponent many chances and they did not come close to scoring. There were not many difficult moments in defense. There were some unexpected goals conceded, but I think we played a good match against FC Tokyo, the best team of this season, with a record of 3 wins and 2 draws.

(Why was the 4-back formation adopted at this timing?)
"During the camp, Muto and Aoki were not present. During the preseason, I didn't know much about Sugimoto, Yamanaka, Taki, and Ewerton. So instead of making changes, I wanted to get to know them better. Also, when looking at our previous matches, I felt that we lacked some aggressiveness in scoring goals. During the league break, we used the opportunity to try out a 4-back formation in practice matches, and if it didn't work out, we would go back to a 3-back formation."

(It was a talk about the best game. Was it a matter of power or a strategic one that we surpassed in possession rate?)
"We increased the number of players in the midfield."
I think the possession rate has increased due to the increase in technical players. Kashiwagi was substituted due to injury, which interrupted the flow a little.
If Kashiwagi, Muto, and Nagasawa are on the pitch, the team will calm down by possessing the ball. There is no doubt about that."
